Top Ten Tuesday: Ordinal Numbers Time

Today’s TTT is “books with ordinal numbers in the title”. Mmkay…..

But first, a tease from Robert Parker’s Double Play:

“We need to work this out,” Burke said. “I don’t want to have to keep shooting people.”
“We got plenty.”

(1) One No, Many Yeses, Paul Kingsnorth. On global resistance to corpo-homogenity in favor of local economies. Oh, wait, “One” isn’t ordinal, it’s cardinal…

(2) The Last Man in Europe, Dennis Glover. If first is ordinal then by gosh and by golly last oughta be ordinal.

(3) The Eighth Continent, Rhett C. Bruno and Felix Savage. Hard SF on the moon. A bonafide ordinal!

(4) First in Line: Presidents, Vice Presidents, and the Pursuit of Power, Kate Anderson Brower

(5) First Family Detail, Ronald Kessler

(6) The Last Republicans: Inside the Extraordinary Relationship between George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, Mark K. Updegrove

(7) The Last Colony, John Scalzi. Part of the Old Man’s War series.

(8) The Second Mountain: The Quest for a Moral Life, David Brooks.

(9) The Last Stargazers, Emily Levesque. On modern astronomy.

(10) The First Men in the Moon, H.G. Wells

(11) The First Conspiracy: The Plot to Kill Washington, Brad Meltzer.

    I agree. Last should definitely be ordinal.
